cpu: you already made the right choice. A10. Don't get a GPU on that budget build. Also, get 2133 RAM.
ram: 2x2GB or 2x4GB CAS 10 or 11.
psu: 300W is enough.
case:anything cheap that you like.
mobo: picky choice

envy14tpe :

do you think its good after a month or two ill hybrid crossfire the A10 with 7750 so it will run little more good ?

ill go with your 2x4gb 2133 my friends suggest that too xD

I've never heard of your games but I'm certain you will want to play others before long and this build just isn't very powerful. I advise you save more money for something more powerful. BTW, you don't mention an OS so I'm wondering if you might think the OS in the HDD you have will work. If it's Windows it won't.

envy14tpe · Jul 13, 2013

If you are planning on getting a GPU then don't get a A10. In all testing I have seen the A10 only shines when you increase the speed of RAM, and you will get RAM so just bump it up. If you are planning on getting a GPU then do not get a A10.

This is the best PC i can fit in your budget.

It will game significantly better than a 6800K alone.
And also a 6800K can not crossfire with a HD 7750.

envy14tpe · Jul 13, 2013

^--Athlon II X4...blah. horrible cpu. Phenom II 965 is much better.
Drop RAM down to 2x2GB and (1600 over 1866) put more money into the GPU.

My advice would be save your money and get a better PC when you have enough money for it!

envy14tpe · Jul 14, 2013

If you are going to spend $350 on this build and don't plan on upgrading in a year or two then I'd go for the A10-6800k or 5800k.

envy14tpe :

after a month or two if i got another money ill crossfire this build with 7750 to make it more fast

Kamen_BG · Jul 14, 2013

envy14tpe :

Why go for a 6800K if you can go with a HD 6770 with a slower CPU? The graphics card is not going to get bottlenecked anyway. As for the RAM, this kit costs less than 1600 MHZ kits because it runs at a higher voltage.
Why be stuck with an integrated graphics card and no room for an upgrade instead of a much faster descrete one?

envy14tpe · Jul 14, 2013

If you are planning on adding a 7750 then I would seriously advise against buying the A10. If you want to add a 7750 then I'd advise getting a i3.

I'll summarize the review from hexus. Using the onboard graphics of the A10-5800k is good. If you add a 6670 and use it as dual graphics then a i3 + 6670 will outperform your A10 + 6670.

So, if you are thinking about adding a 7750 then the same situation will happen. I do realize you want a A10-6800k, not 5800k, but the 6800k is $150 and a i3-3220 is $120. If you are getting the 7750 + $30 (difference in a10 n i3) and get a better GPU. This situaion will play games better.

The A10-6800k

envy14tpe · Jul 14, 2013

This build adds a GPU, which seems like something you plan on doing someday soon. This i3 + 650ti will outperform the A10 + 7750 in gaming.

for that price your better off getting an xbox

Echoceres · Jul 14, 2013

Michael Shunsby :

i already have an xbox and it doesnt have dota2

Echoceres · Jul 14, 2013

envy14tpe :

is the i3 3220 + 7750 is much better than a10-6800k+7750 ? even if it has only 2 cores ? :O i dont have budget today for i3 build cause i need this pc rush xD if i go for A10-6800k ill use the intergrated Gpu

envy14tpe · Jul 14, 2013

link:http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/cpu/46157-amd-a10-5800k-dual-graphics-evaluation/?page=2

You'll notice that the i3 + 6670 beats the A10-5800k + 6670 in all gaming benchmarks.

Also, in the benchmark testing..sometimes using the dual graphics (A10 + 6670) made gaming worse than just using the A10 graphics.

I'm assuming the i3 + 7750 is better than the A10 + 7750 because of the review I listed above. If the i3 + 6670 is better than the A10 +6670 then I assumed it's the same with the 7750.

Echoceres · Jul 14, 2013

envy14tpe :

im not gonna use the a10-5800k , ill use the a10-6800k richland with HD8*** something GPu xD i dont have budget for the Gtx650Ti >.<

envy14tpe · Jul 14, 2013

I know the A10-6800k is better than A10-5800k, but I'm not sure it is when you add a 7750. (compared to the i3 w/ 7750)

I put the 650ti in the build as an idea. You could always get something less, like a 7770.

Echoceres · Jul 14, 2013

envy14tpe :

i3 + PowerColor HD7750 1gb Ddr3 Hdmi + 8gb ram with 1800ghz or 1600ghz or 2000+ghz + all other specs you suggested with i3 ? what u think

envy14tpe · Jul 14, 2013

If you go i3, then don't go above 1600. In gaming, with intel CPUs, you won't benefit with faster RAM like 1866 or 2100. Just make sure you get 2x4GB 1600 CAS 9or10.

This one is $60 on sale.

Hey, please don't go for the A10 6800K . It does not have that good graphics. Why get Integrated graphics when you can have the CPU power of an AMD A10 (Athlon 750K) with the GPU power of the AMD 7750. I see no point in getting the A10 6800K. Get this build instead which is much better in performance :

The 7750 is much better than the A10's Integrated graphics. I am sure that it would help a lot. Please if you already have not bought the parts then please go for this. I am sure you would be much happier with the performance of the 7750.

If you think that the answer helped, then don't forget to select it as the best answer. It would be highly appreciated by me.
